The 2018 4th of July Fireworks Display almost didn't happen due to the City's budget and other financial challenges with the Senecas in Niagara Falls. However, Key Bank stepped in to fund the 2018 4th of July Fireworks Celebration and made it very successful.

There were also concerns, from years past, of problems from unruly groups during the 4th of July Fireworks but this year's event went off without a problem.
